Take Me Away novel Chapter 96

At the conference room

It was around 11:00 p.m. when the emergency conference came to a halt. Spencer massaged his temples as he looked at his watch.

"Spencer, we will get going if there's nothing else." Eric stood up. "We have a meeting with the representatives from P City tomorrow."

Spencer nodded. "Okay. You should go."

"You should head back too. We have a lot to do."

"I know. I'll leave in a moment."

"Okay, we're leaving then." Eric stood up with the rest and headed back.

Once the others all left, the conference room became silent. Spencer took out his cell phone and dialed Terence's number without a second thought.

The phone rang for so long that Spencer became annoyed.

Just when he was about to hang up, Terence attended the call. Spencer heard his angry voice coming from the other end.

"What are you doing, Spencer? You'd better have something really important to say! Else you'll be dead meat!" Terence said furiously.

Spencer chuckled. "Were you asleep? Don't you have a nightlife? Terence, it's high time you get a girlfriend."

"Yeah, right. I can't compete with you, Mr. Cheng. You're so indulgent with your women." Terence tried to calm down, but his emotions got the better of him. "How does it feel to have Celine and Fiona clinging to your arms all the time? Is the excitement so much to handle that you're calling me to come over to help you?"

When Spencer heard this, his handsome face darkened. "I was going to talk to you about something."

Terence snorted. "What a show-off! I have enough things to deal with already. Don't try to spite me by showing off your girlfriend collection to me."

"Spite you? Why would I try to do that? Stop being so annoying. I'm going crazy," Spencer retorted furiously.

Finally, Terence's curiosity got the better of him. Besides, he found Spencer's anger amusing. "Fine, what did you call to talk to me about? Tell me now."

"Two women are too much to handle."

"What's wrong? Did Celine get into a fight with Fiona?" On second thought, Terence realized that it was unlikely for that to happen. "Wait, no, that doesn't sound right. Fiona would never get into a fight with someone. It's unlike her. Did you fight with her?

It's okay if you two fought. I'll gladly take Fiona's side without thinking twice." Spencer stood up and paced back and forth in the conference room with his hands on his hips. "I wanted to take the two of them to the base so that I can protect them, but it seems I miscalculated the situation. Celine and Fiona aren't getting along at all, and I'm torn apart between them. I need to put an end to this."

"That's simple! Ask Celine to leave and go back to M City. Your birthday is coming up in a few days and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want Fiona gone."

Spencer snorted. "You brat! Celine got shot because of me, and she still hasn't recovered, so it's not good to send her back. And besides...I don't want her gone."

"I never thought of you as a greedy person, Spencer! You want to date two women at the same time," Terence cried incredulously.

"What the fuck are you talking about?" Spencer shouted back. "I just don't want her to be targeted if she goes back. I still remembered what happened at the airport last time. The people from P City are here to help us solve the problem. I am not as bad as you think!"

"Who knows! It is possible to rekindle the flame between you and Celine. She sacrificed her life to save you. Isn't it possible that that might move you to fall in love with her again?"

Spencer's expression darkened. "This is exactly what I'm worried about. Celine... Ultimately, it is my fault. Six years ago, I promised to be there for her, and yet I let her go."

"She is your sister. But if you can persuade your father and Anna to get a divorce, you can be with Celine." Terence sighed.

"What? You're kidding, right? Terence, you can't sound so serious when you're talking rubbish. This is my life matter. Stop joking around. I'm asking you for a solution, not to make a fucking joke of my problems!" Spencer was upset.

Terence frowned. "I really was being serious. If there was an option to stop being Celine's brother, would you be with her again?"

For a moment, Spencer was dumfounded. Then he said, "What are you saying? Even if she's not my sister anymore, do you think Grandpa would ever agree to let us be together?"

"Don't run away from the question! Don't use your grandpa as an excuse. I want to know what you think."

"I..." Spencer trailed off, and then smiled. "Of course not! I'm already married. Since Fiona lost a child because of me, I will make it up for her."

Terence finally smiled. "You're so stubborn. You confessed to me last time, remember?" Then, he repeated Spencer's confession in the same tone he'd used earlier. "I like her. I don't know when I started to have feelings for her and I don't know how serious I am about her."

When Spencer heard his own words, his face turned red with embarrassment. "I clearly remember what I said. I don't need you to remind me again!"

Terence burst into laughter. "All right, all right! As long as you remember it, it's all fine."

"Stop laughing! You haven't given me a solution to my problem yet." Spencer found that dealing with women was harder than dealing with his work.
